Dear Plebs,
First of all, can I say a big thank you to all of you who work so hard behind the scenes for the good of the school. You get very little credit and sometimes people are a bit patronising, but I think you take it very well and good for you, because it’s the little people who really deserve the praise. So, thank you, you really are marvellous, really marvellous and in no way mentally unbalanced. Nor do any of you have eye problems, whatever friends of mine didn’t say.
So, can we all move on and concentrate on making the Academy’s summer fête a success, which is where you come in. It’s all very well important people like me turning up in a helicopter and swanning about with Mrs Headmaster looking lovely in a hat and I know you’re all looking forward to seeing the pictures, but it’s the volunteers who really make the day, so for Heaven’s sake, please, please, please, don’t go off to Mr Farage’s rival event, with its fruitcake stall and clowns for everyone.
I know it may be appealing that you’re allowed to smoke and drink inside Mr Farage’s tent, but when you hear some of the exciting ideas we’ve got lined up, then you’ll know there’s only one place to be. So don’t go there...
